October 9: A & Doves
How to do a good single: record a really-good new song, and instead of sticking it on your next album in 18 months or whatever, slap it on your single, complete with a video for the song. That's what A did on the "Starbucks" single. Not only do you get "Starbucks," which should have been a hit in America, but you get a new song called "Coming Around," which is very, very good. Top form.
Another good idea is the kick-a$$ cover. Like on the Doves' single for "Caught by the River," they re-write "Werewolves of London," the early '80s hit, as "Hit the Ground Running." Top drawer, chaps.
